About a year ago, I moved halfway across the country for school. This move marked the first time I had ever been away from home (my family) for more than a month. I was excited and scared and everything in between to get on with this new adventure in my life. I knew that I would be lonely (because while a few of my friends were moving to my state...they were still 4 hours away in Houston), so I decided to get a puppy. A friend from Dallas, still 4 hours away, happened to have some miniature dachshund puppies available, ...

So, recently I was vacationing in Portugal, it was the 4th year we had visited there, and every time I visit, I get a mod to come home with! The mods that I've got over there in the past have been piercings, but this year, I wanted something totally different. I've been thinking of getting inked for a while, but over here in Britain the legal age requirement is 18, or you can get it done in an unclean, dirty, unprofessional place where they don't give a damn. Lucky for me, the age in portugal is 16! So I decided ...

Wow this was a crazy experience. A while back when I turned 21 I wanted a tattoo then, chickened out though. Now I was just waiting for the right moment. I mean money was an issue, and I do have to say I was a little scared about what it would feel like. I've gotten so many different people telling me so many experiences they had, so I didn't know who if anyone of them I should listen to. In the end, I listened to myself, and just went. Yesterday I walked into the tattoo shop and was just asking ...

My first experience of getting tattooed was extremely pleasant and not as painful as I had anticipated. I have loved tattoos and body mod in general since I was a child and after having my septum, both nostrils, 4 surface piercings, multiple ear piercings, my lip, my tongue and navel pierced, I decided that it was time to move on to ink so on turning 18 I was thrilled to finally get my first tattoo. Having had years to think and plan what I wanted tattooed the decision processes wasn't as lengthily as I had thought. I decided to have ...

My tattoo has been a long thought out process which has probably taken about 10 years to finally come to fruition. The first dilemma was that I didn't think that I was the type of person that had have mod's done (something I got over that about 12 months ago by getting my hood pierced and followed that with my nose). The second dilemma was what to have tattooed. I have thought about this for what felt like forever and just could not come up with anything. I didn't want something that somebody else had. It had to be meaningful ...

Earlier this week I went to Body Graphics in South Windsor, CT, and got a tattoo. I am totally excited about it, since it's been about 3 years since I last got tattooed. I found Body Graphics just doing an online search for local tattoo/body piercing places, and then checking out reviews. They had all great reviews from customers, and I definitely wanted to check them out. I had decided over the last few weeks that I wanted to cover my ankle stars. I had them done while I was living in Boston. I liked the idea of the stars, ...

Ever since I was a child I've wanted to be covered in tattoos. My mum had them, as did all her friends and I decided I wanted them too. In the summer when I wore vest tops I'd ask my mum to 'tattoo' me with felt tips. One year I had her cover my whole arm in flowers and I felt like the coolest person alive. I'd dabbled with piercings and had my hair various colours but it wasn't until my 18th birthday that I could fully embrace body modification. My dad is one of those conservative pricks who hates ...

Take your head around the world See what you get From your mind Write your soul down word for word See who's your friend Who is kind From the age of 9 or so, I've fancied myself somewhat of a poet. Granted, I'm more of a hack and a wannabe than a Sylvia Plath, but I'm still a poet in my mind. Ever since I learned to read, I had been obsessed with writing - and as I got older, that obsession turned to song lyrics. In high school, I was browsing a used CD store and came across Yourself ...

I was about thirteen or fourteen when this 'tattoo' happened, and this was back before the days of me being straight edge, so as you can predict, I was trashed after a huge party at my then, boyfriends place. The boys and I, returned to my buddies house that night around 4am, totally smashed and high as kites. Being me however, I immediately passed out on his sofa, leaving a room full of immature, intoxicated boys, looking for something to do, and even being heavily under the influence, I was still the responsible voice of reason, but what could possibly ...

After months of reading everyone else's experiences with their rib pieces I'm finally able to upload my own story. I started my oriental rib piece yesterday and survived the first session. I already have two tattoos. One across my shoulder blades on my upper back, and one small symbol on the base of my neck. Also being a fan of body piercing, I have three. Tongue, VCH and navel. So I wouldn't say I'm whimp when it comes to pain and once I have set my mind to wanting something, I'm not easily put off. I had done a lot ...
